Administrative Succession and Governance of Gulf Family Businesses: Experiences and Case Studies

About this book

Behind the walls of the Gulf's great family businesses, deals are run not by numbers alone, but woven with history, blood, and fathers' emotion that sometimes collides with sons' ambition. In this book, Dr. Ehab Zureik and Dr. Ahmed Ehab Zureik embark on a bold exploratory journey inside "the black box" of the Gulf economy, where family businesses form the backbone of financial stability, yet today stand at a historic crossroads: either sustainability or extinction. Between this work's covers you will find a rare blend of Islamic Sharia wisdom in managing money and the most complex modern governance theories. The authors do not content themselves with narrating dry rules, but dive into real "experiences and case studies," touching pain and conflict points in the "handing over the banner" moments from the founders' generation to the grandsons'. It is no mere management book, but a survival guide for whoever seeks an answer to the hardest question: how do we protect the family legacy from fragmentation when the founder passes.
